    Wrong Lot Type for Residential Lots

    June 19, 2019 /

    Problem In my existing save a lot of residential lots show as incomplete commercial lots. I can play the family anyways. Cause Patch 1.52.100 shows lots who’s lot type has been changed from commercial to residential in the past in the original lot type. This seems to only be a display error on the map. Solution You can fix the lots with a few easy steps but you need to do it for each faulty lot. Create a backup of your save in case anything goes wrong.

    Household Sims on different lots don’t take care of their needs

    January 29, 2019 /

    Update Both issues have been address in Patch 1.52.100 but they seems to still occur. Problem Sims in my household that are currently on a different lot, don’t attend to their needs although the Care for Self option is activated. The needs of my toddlers which I sent to daycare are all in the red and no one seems to take care of them. Cause It seems like the game doesn’t register the option to take care of self properly if you don’t explicitly choose it. The hunger need does seem to go up if you wait long enough though. Solution…

    [FIXED] Can’t change lot type

    June 23, 2016 /

    Problem My lot has the type generic and I can’t change it. I get the error: Disabled for Special Venues, I can’t buy anything. Although I have enough money, buy mode tells me I have insufficient funds. I also get displayed the business funds. Cause There’s a few lots in Windenburg that are special venues and hence can’t be changed. Those are: The ruins, the Von Haunt Estate and the bluffs. This is by design. There’s a bug that turns other lots into special venues. I don’t know what triggers it though. The cause of this has been fixed but…

    Uploaded Content does not appear in gallery

    August 26, 2015 /

    Problem I uploaded a lot/ a Sim to the gallery but even after a few hours it does not show up there Cause The most common cause for this is that the gallery filters out lots and households that contain custom content. The gallery has a mechanism that checks if your upload as custom content and then marks your upload as such. Sometimes stuff without custom content is categorized as containing custom content. For example are pictures of custom content are also classified as custom content. Photos and paintings that were painted by reference also often wrongly count as custom content.…

    July 19, 2015 /

    Probleme Many lots still have signs of crime scenes although the case has been closed a long while ago. These lots can’t be bought furnished. Cause The game is supposed to clean up the scene after your Sim leaves it (as the message tells you). This does not seem to work properly. Solution Visit the lot with your active Sim (with loading screen). This will trigger the lot to be cleaned up Further Reading Lots can’t be bought furnished
